Calculating non-controlling interest in the presence of goodwill impairment
(Emerald, 2010)Purpose – The primary aim of this paper is to illustrate how goodwill impairment loss should be accounted for when measuring non-controlling interest in subsidiaries. Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses two ... -
Calculating the surface melt rate of Antarctic glaciers using satellite-derived temperatures and stream flows
(Springer Nature, 2020)Melt rate models are fundamental for understanding the impacts of climate change on glaciers and the subsequent effects on habitats and sea level rise. Ice melt models have mostly been derived from energy balance or air ... -
A calculator for supporting derivation in constructive type-theory: PICTCalc
(1994-06)PICTCalc is an interactive program written in LPA Prolog which has encoded within it the rules of Martin-Löf's constructive type theory (CTT), a formal system based on the constructive or intuitionistic mathematics of ... -
Caldalkalibacillus thermarum PhoH2: Solving the solubility puzzle
(University of Waikato, 2017)Previous attempts to determine the structure of the protein PhoH2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium smegmatis and Thermobispora bispora have been unsuccessful producing diffraction data to low resolution. The ... -
Caldolase, a chelator-insensitive extracellular serine proteinase from a Thermus spp.
(1989)An extracellular alkaline serine proteinase from Thermus strain ToK3 was isolated and purified to homogeneity by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation followed by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and QAE-Sephadex, affinity ... -
Caldolysin, a highly active protease from an extremely Thermophilic Bacterium
(New Zealand Institute of Chemistry, 1982)Proteases comprise a significant proportion of those proteins which have been subject to detailed characterisation (amino acid sequence and high resolution crystallographic analysis). The extent of research interest in ... -
Calibration and control of a robot arm using a range imaging camera
(IS&T- the Society for Imaging Science and Technology SPIE, 2010)Time of flight range imaging is an emerging technology that has numerous applications in machine vision. In this paper we cover the use of a commercial time of flight range imaging camera for calibrating a robotic arm. We ... -
Calibration of the radiocarbon time scale for the southern hemisphere: AD 1850-950.
(University of Arizona, 2002)We have conducted a series of radiocarbon measurements on decadal samples of dendrochronologically dated wood from both hemispheres, spanning 1000 years (McCormac et al. 1998; Hogg et al. this issue). Using the data presented ... -
California’s Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) requires 33% renewable electricity generation by 2020 - Dream or Reality?
(SDEWES, 2014-09-20)Progress on California’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), which requires 33% of all retail electricity sales to be served by renewable energy sources by 2020, excluding large hydro, is reported in this paper. The emerging ... -
Call and response: Taika Waititi’s ‘Boy’
(Australian Teachers of Media, 2010)Lisa Perrott examines how the construction of Waititi's latest film might engender complex, nuanced responses from audiences. -
Camphene-derived primary and hydroxymethyl phosphines
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2001-01-01)Thermal disproportionation of (2,2-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-3-ylmethyl)phosphinic acid (endo-8-camphanylphosphinic acid, camPO₂H₂) yields the primary phosphine (2,2-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-3-ylmethyl)phosphine (camPH₂). ... -
Can biotic resistance be utilized to reduce establishment rates of non-indigenous species in constructed waters?
(Springer, 2012)Understanding the mechanisms that facilitate establishment of non-indigenous species is imperative for devising techniques to reduce invasion rates. Passively dispersing non-indigenous organisms, including zooplankton, ... -
Can I teach these students? A case study of Vietnamese teachers’ self-efficacy in relation to teaching English as a foreign language
(University of Waikato, 2015)The study looked at factors that influenced the self-efficacy in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) of a group of university teachers in Vietnam. Previous studies yielded contradictory results regarding the sources ... -
Can Justice be Traded for Democracy?
(The University of Waikato, 2017)For much of the Twentieth Century, the transition processes of democratizing states have followed a familiar pattern. Outgoing authoritarian regimes relinquished power after extracting the promise of amnesty from the ... -
Can naturally occurring glucosinolate related compounds from brassica crops act as biological nitrification inhibitors and reduce nitrous oxide emissions?
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is problematic as it is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential about 298 times that of carbon dioxide, and it also contributes to the depletion of stratospheric ozone. The use of ... -
Can neuroscience construct a literate gendered culture?
(University of Waikato, 2011-07)The construction of boys as a gendered culture is not usually associated with neuroscience. Exceptions are publications and presentations by consultants on boys’ education who adopt a “brain-based” perspective. From a ... -
Can oxygen stable isotopes be used to track precipitation moisture
(Elsevier, 2015-08-14)Variations in the isotopic composition of precipitation are determined by fractionation processes which occur during temperature- and humidity-dependent phase changes associated with evaporation and condensation. Oxygen ... -
Can psychopathy be adaptive at work? Development and application of a work focused self- and other-report measure of the triarchic psychopathy model
(MDPI, 2020)Psychopathy may have both adaptive and maladaptive effects at work but research into workplace psychopathy is constrained by the lack of short, work-relevant measures that can be used for both self- and other-report. We ... -
Can redirected aggression explain interspecific attacks by Australian magpies on other birds?
(Brill, 2007)Attacks by participants of conflicts against a third party are referred to as redirected aggression. Usually the third party is a conspecific — few documented cases of redirected aggression against other species exist. The ...
